A Grand Cru Gewurztraminer from Zinnkoepflé, the highest Grand Cru vineyard in Alsace (200-440m altitude) in the communes of Westhalten and Soultzmatt, on limestone-sandstone soils. Deep golden in color, it shows rich aromas of spice and exotic fruit (mango), an intense and complex bouquet, an attack of roundness and spice, and a long finish with notes of honey and pepper — reflecting the terroir's classic peony, verbena, menthol, and liquorice character.
Zinnkoepflé's altitude and limestone-sandstone soil give this Gewurztraminer a spice-and-honey intensity few other terroirs can match.
